I did know!

I would take issue with this.

The Fuel Injectors are obviously going to give you more power than the 'carb' version.

There are many more things (cam profiles, compression ratios, etc.) that determine power output than carb or FI. Not least where Frank paints the red line on the MAP gauge. (I know all about pressure/density altitude so don't come back with that).

Lycoming engines were developed for fixed wing and the primary reason for fuel injection is better fuel distribution to each cylinder which allows better leaning. As far as I know ( I dont fly one) this is not recommended with a Raven2. There is loads of information on leaning on the net.

I would suggest the main reason FI was put on the Raven 2 was avoidance of induction icing. Just my opinion.

Its a pretty good reason though.
